Trending Questions on Nissan Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts
Hi Team, first of all, kudos to your work. I am planning to buy a car for a family of four, and occasionally my mother will also travel with us. My budget is ₹16 lakh, and I am looking for an automatic, specifically a torque converter or CVT, for better maintenance and reliability. I want an all-rounder and have shortlisted the XUV 3XO AX5L TC TGDI variant. I am okay with the 364-litre boot space. Should I reconsider or go ahead with this car? I also thought about the Nissan Magnite CVT top-end, but by adding ₹2 lakh, I can get ADAS and additional features in the 3XO. Kindly suggest.
I am looking for a compact and safe car with an automatic transmission that can easily navigate ghats. My budget is around ₹10-12 lakh. My family car was a Swift, and its dimensions worked well for my parking spot.
The Citroen C3 Turbo-AT is an excellent crossover hatchback that's compact in dimensions, packs in strong performance, and it'll easily fall within your budget. But go for it, only if there is a Citroen touchpoint near you.
The Nissan Magnite Turbo-CVT/Renault Kiger Turbo-CVT are also good, value-for-money options. And even though both these are slightly larger than the Swift, they are narrower than other turbo-automatic compact SUVs available at this price. It makes them relatively easier to navigate.
I am a new driver and want to buy an automatic car in the range of Rs 8 to 12 lakh on-road. I am looking for a car with a 360-degree camera, high on features, and comfortable enough to seat five adults.
We are a family of six with two kids. My father has knee pain, so we need a car with a spacious rear cabin and good headroom. I’m looking for a petrol automatic Sub-4-metre car because of parking constraints. My yearly run is only around 5,000 km. I want a car with a high seating position, high ground clearance, a 4- or 5-star safety rating, and decent boot space. My budget is around ₹12-15 lakh. Please suggest suitable options.
Since you are a family of six, the Renault Triber is an ideal choice for you. Its sub-4m length will pose no parking issues, while brilliant packaging means there is reasonable space in all three rows. The middle row seat slide function also makes it easy to balance passenger and luggage space in the cabin. The relatively high seating also makes getting in and out easy enough.
Do note, while the Triber was rated 3 stars for adult occupant protection by Global NCAP, it makes for a safer real-world option than higher-scoring compact SUVs. Thanks to the safety of dedicated seats for all family members.
Nissan's version of the Triber, called Gravite, will be revealed in the coming weeks and could be worth a look too.
I’m planning to buy a car with a strict ₹8 lakh budget. Please suggest the best possible options.
It's hard to guide you to the ideal car without knowing more of your requirements. However, we have trimmed the list of options down to a few cars that excel in certain aspects.
Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.2 AMT - The Wagon R scores for ease of use. The high seating, large glass area and light controls put drivers at immediate ease. Superb cabin space for this size of car.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno Delta MT - A smooth engine and great ride comfort are highlights of the Baleno. Delta trim packs in a reasonable number of feel-good features.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire MT VXI - Sedan shape has its charm. Smooth engine and comfortable ride make it a good choice.
Tata Punch Pure Plus S MT - Tough feel and absorbent suspension make it feel like a junior SUV. Not as spacious as other options.
Hyundai Exter S Plus Pro Pack - Easy to drive and comfortable for city use.
Nissan Magnite N Connecta/ Renault Kiger Techno MT - Visually, the largest and offers the most space too. Decent features for the money. The engine is weak, however.
Hey team, I am planning to buy a new car. My budget is ₹10-12 lakh. We are a family of four and the car will be used for both city driving and long tours. Please suggest one sedan and one compact SUV, with performance and safety as my priorities.
Given your priorities, we would recommend you look at the Mahindra XUV 3XO in compact SUVs. It's got a tough build, strong engines and scored well in terms of cabin space. Alternatively, you could look at the turbo versions of the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger. The two models are underrated and actually deliver great value for money.
Among sedans, if you don't mind the absence of many tech and comfort features, the entry-level Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are worth considering. Their strong turbo-petrol engines and tough build are highlights. If you want more features, there's the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, but you'll have to compromise on power and performance.
I own the top-end CVT variant. Every time I refill the fuel tank, the range shown does not exceed 300 or 350. Why is that so? And in city traffic, it reduces fast even when the fuel range bars are full in the MID display.
I wanted to buy a new automatic car for my sister, who is new to driving. We are confused among Nissan Magnite CVT, Skoda Kylaq AT, Tata Punch AMT, Fronx AMT, and Honda Maze CVT. Which among these is best for both city and highway drives based on gearbox and reliability? The budget is 10 to 13 lakhs. Kindly suggest.
Hello Team Autocar, I am planning to buy a new car within a budget of ₹10-13 lakh. I am looking for a compact automatic car suitable for driving in Bangalore, with an efficient engine delivering around 15 kmpl. The car should comfortably seat five people with good legroom and adjustable headrests, along with features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, good speakers, wireless charging, and a sunroof. I also prefer LED headlamps and tail lamps, parking sensors, a dashcam, and rear wiper with defogger.
Unfortunately, there aren't many cars that would meet all those requirements under Rs 13 lakh. You could increase your budget and get a more premium offering, or be prepared to sacrifice a few things and stick with your budget.
Within your budget, your two best bets are the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger, which both offer exceptional value for money. They come with 1.0-litre turbo petrol engines and smooth CVT auto gearboxes, and if driven carefully, can deliver good fuel economy. Their touchscreens are decent but not great, and it's a similar story with their audio systems; neither gets a sunroof.
The Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch facelifts are more affordable but not spacious enough for five, and get clunky AMT auto gearboxes.
I previously owned an Omni, which was mostly used by my father. I’m now planning to buy a new car. My monthly running will be around 1,500 km-about 1,200 km for daily office commuting near the outskirts of Hyderabad (via ORR), and the rest for family use. Usually, there will be 4-5 occupants, and very occasionally 6. I’m considering the Renault Triber or the upcoming Nissan Magnite (7-seater options within my budget), but I’m unsure due to feedback from friends about Renault–Nissan’s part quality and long-term reliability. Since I don’t plan to sell the car in the future, my priority is low maintenance, good mileage, and long-term reliability rather than features. I’m also open to 5-seater options if these 7-seaters aren’t advisable, for example, the Maruti Dzire. Additionally, I’d like to know whether the Tata Punch EV (base variant) would be a good choice. I’m open to other suggestions and would appreciate detailed advice.
The recently facelifted Renault Triber and upcoming Nissan Gravite are both good options for your usage. Essentially the same car under the skin, they are surprisingly spacious given their sub-4m length and overall size.
The advantage of getting a 7-seater in this case is that, for your occasional 6-seat use, you will be able to manage with this car, and for the rest of the time, your 4-5 passengers will be more comfortable, and you can carry some luggage too.
As a commuter, its compact dimensions make it easy to manage around town. Renault and Nissan's quality and reliability have come a long way since the early days. Though not quite up to the gold standard of certain other brands, are not a serious issue in the slightest.
The Punch EV is a good choice, too. But for the reasons mentioned above, as well as your 1,500km monthly usage, we'd recommend sticking to a 7-seater and an ICE vehicle.
